- Cut the bottle gourd into thin small strips and wash them once. Then drain the water and keep it aside. On the other hand, put a pan on flame and allow it to become completely dry. Add 3 tablespoons of mustard oil into it. Once the oil is hot, add the daler bori into it and fry them till golden brown and keep them aside. In the same pan, add oil if required and add 1 dry red chilli, 1 bay leaf and ½ teaspoon cumin seeds into the pan for tempering and let them crackle. Add the bottle gourd pieces into the pan and give a nice stir. Cook it over medium flame for 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon ginger paste into the pan and mix it well. Cook it in low flame for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell of ginger goes away. Add ¼ cup green peas into the pan and give a nice mix. Add salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder into the pan and mix them nicely. Add green chillies into the pan and cover the pan. Cook it in low flame for approximately 20 minutes until the bottle gourd gets cooked completely in its own juice. Stir in between once or twice. Take off the lid of the pan and give a stir. Add 1 teaspoon cumin powder and mix it well. Cook it in low flame for another 2-3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of chopped coriander leave one by one into the pan and give a nice stir. Add the fried daler bori into the pan and give a gentle stir. Break few of them for better flavour. Cover the pan and cook it in low flame for another 5 minutes. Switch off the flame and put the pan down.
